Cut real jasmine properly
True jasmine (Jasminum officinale) should be cut several times a year. The ornamental plant does not mind, even if you cut it back a bit more. When to cut Genuine Jasmine and what to look for.
Real jasmine is good cut compatible
Real jasmine can stand a pruning at any time. This allows you to keep the ornamental plant in good shape and pull on request as a climbing plant on a trellis.
You should cut:
Cutting after the winter break
In spring, when you bring the real jasmine out of the winter break, it's time for the first pruning.
It should be done before the plant expels. Cut back the jasmine only lightly, so that you do not remove later buds.
Bushy plants by cutting back after flowering
To make the real jasmine bushy and vigorous, cut it back after flowering. Remove the branches with the flowered inflorescences.
Rejuvenate real jasmine by cutting
Older plants often become lazy. They only bloom on the outer ends of the branches and no longer look so decorative.
Through a rejuvenation cut, you not only bring the plant back into shape. The pruning also ensures that outdated branches are removed and young shoots can regrow.
For rejuvenation cut back the true jasmine by two-thirds. The ornamental plant needs some time after such a radical cut to recover from it. During this time, she will have few or no flowers. After the recovery phase it blooms for it all the stronger.
Do not forget gloves when cutting!
Real jasmine is poisonous. Even contact with the plant juices can cause inflammatory reactions on the skin.
Therefore always wear gloves when cutting or other care work to protect the hands.
Tips
If your true jasmine does not bloom, it is often because the non-hardy ornamental plant was overwintered too warm. Very rarely, true jasmine does not develop flowers if you cut it back too radically in the spring.
